There was followed by a news blast which caused a thrill with the information about the sudden death of One Direction on October 16, 2024, with whom he was friendly for years, one of those who were more grieved and, according to the report, might pay tribute to him during the last tour of her Eras Tour.
An insider connected to the singer revealed that Swift was devastated when she learned about the tragic passing away of Payne. Katy has been acquainted with her for years, as she has been dating at some point in 2012 with Harry Styles, another One Direction member. Though she finally broke off the Styles lot, Swift and Payne have continued being friends even after that. Earlier this year, Payne shared a piece about a ‘deep’ gift and an ‘edgy’ personal message by Swift, a friend.
A source has confirmed that Payne, aged 31, died on Tuesday in Buenos Aires, Argentina, after he fell off the third floor of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. He was in Argentina to watch his former bandmate, Niall Horan, do a live performance. The eyewitnesses Walters point out that Payne tumbled off his balcony around five of their local time. The police came there after receiving a call about some violent male person who had been involved in an act.
Some people have said in a post-match analysis that he maybe was under the influence of something, say drugs or alcohol, when he fell. The Eras Tour’s final stretch is scheduled to begin on October 18 in Miami, and fans expect nothing less regarding respect for her late friend. While the ways that tribute might happen have not been announced, the fans of the pop icon wanted to have a moment of reflection and sorrow while they grieve the sudden death of Payne.
The tour will continue until December 8, culminating in Vancouver. Fans and friends alike are at a loss after the sudden and tragic passing of Payne, something Swift seems to convey through this planned tribute.
